I am not a fan of fried green tomatoes ...lotta joy,<br />I am not a fan of fried green tomatoes or even relish made with them. So, I am no expert. However, I believe that Panko is a Northern thing while cornmeal is a more Southern usage. <br /><br />Hmmm, crispy versus crunchy. I will have to think on that to figure out the difference. My mind is not able function on that meta level right now...lol. <br /><br />While I never eat fried green tomatoes, I do cook them for others. Sometimes, I have used ones with a pink tinge, hoping I was not using one that would turn out wrong. No complaints, ever. Now I know why!<br /><br />The diffrence in newspaper and a paper bag may be that my friend had several bushels of green tomatoes. She could store more in newspaper. ????<br /><br />Tomatoes picked almost ripe to sell is the problem<br /><br />Some day, I will use Panko even though I won't eat the fried green tomato! Thanks for that tip.

They aren't as rock hard and have a sweeter taste. I never, EVER use cornmeal when frying them, but use buttermilk, flour and Panko to give them a crispness, instead of the "crunchiness" that cornmeal makes.<br /><br />We haven't had an honest to goodness ripe tomato since we left Indiana. Ripe off the vine is still lots better than a 'ripe from newspaper" tomato. I just use a paper bag for ripening. Same difference.lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.com
